This is the time of the year when I get creative with porridge recipes, like this Tropical Porridge today! Not only do I have cravings for them, but also the variety of tropical fruits in season right now are great inspiration too! Although I live in Canada, which is far from Tropical, we are lucky enough to have many types of these delicious fruits available to us mainly from Florida, Mexico, and other parts of Central America.

One of my favorites is pomegranate, which is also the fruit of Christmas. It is beautiful, delicious, and full of antioxidants, so make sure you add it to your smoothies, porridge, and even salads like I do on my GURU SALAD. Another is Pitaya, also called Dragon Fruit with a very subtle taste, yet very beautiful and healthy. I only wish we would get the pink flesh pitaya here too, but we get only the white one. That’s why I like to use the Pink Supercolor powder by Suncore Foods available on Amazon.

One more product I would like to mention is the RIVIERA Coconut Yogurt which I love so much. This company also offers Oats yogurt, which is delicious as well and I guess you must try both to decide which one you prefer. Unfortunately, this product is not available on Amazon and if you do not live in the Toronto area I am not sure where you could find it. All I know is that it is available in supermarkets such as Metro, Loblaws, and Longos.

I guess this is all I wanted to share with you, however, I am curious if you have a favorite vegan yogurt. Also, what is your favorite breakfast? Thank you for visiting and have a wonderful week!
